unemployed man killed his parents by slitting their throat at a house in Bihar's Nawada district, a police officer said today.
The incident took place last night as the unemployed man Bablu Kumar attacked his parents Bhubaneshwar Lal (50) and Shanti Devi (45) with a sharp-edged object and slit throat of the two while they were asleep at their house, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Sanjay Kumar Pandey said.
The elderly couple was found dead this morning by neighbours, the DSP said, adding that bodies have been sent for post-mortem.
Kumar was unhappy with his parents who used to rebuke him for not finding work to meet his family's needs and often threatened him that they will sell off properties and shift elsewhere if he did not mend his ways, the DSP said.
